Browns to launch "Cleveland Browns Daily"

Browns fans in Cleveland and around the world will get fresh and extended insights into their favorite team starting later this summer. The club announced today that it will launch a daily radio show, devoted entirely to the team and the NFL, called “Cleveland Browns Daily.” The show will air on ESPN 850 WKNR, Monday through Friday from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m., 52 weeks a year. In addition, the show will be streamed live on ClevelandBrowns.com and ESPNCleveland.com.

Joining the Browns’ staff as the show’s host is long-time NFL journalist Vic Carucci, who will serve as the club’s Senior Editor. In this role he will appear regularly as a part of other team media platforms and contribute analysis on ClevelandBrowns.com. Carucci, one of the most respected media members covering the NFL, re-joins the Browns after serving with the team in 2005.

The show will offer fans comprehensive coverage and analysis of the Browns both on and off the field, in addition to the NFL. Regular contributors to “Cleveland Browns Daily” will include the voice of the Browns, Jim Donovan, radio analyst Doug Dieken and sideline reporter Jamir Howerton. Guests will consist of members of the Browns front office, alumni and various personalities from the football industry.

“Cleveland Browns fans are among the most passionate in the NFL, and we are very excited about the opportunity to provide them with a year-round radio forum on WKNR,” said Browns President Mike Holmgren. “Vic’s knowledge of the game and the league make him a perfect fit to host this show. With ‘Cleveland Browns Daily,’ Browns fans will be able to get insights on a regular basis from Vic, in addition to our radio team of Jim, Doug and Jamir, as well as other special guests.”

Good Karma Broadcasting President/CEO Craig Karmazin said, “Our fans have told us that nothing is more important to them than the Cleveland Browns. We are excited to be bringing them the best access and information on the team directly from the source.”

"This is an incredibly exciting opportunity," Carucci said. "You're talking about a franchise with such a rich history and some of the most passionate fans in all of sports. The radio show is an ideal platform to interact with them on a daily basis. The other very attractive part of this job is being able to work with one of the true legends of the game in Mike Holmgren and with the highly talented front-office team that he has put together. Everything about this organization is first class."

Carucci began his journalism career covering the Philadelphia Eagles for the Courier-Post in Camden, N.J. From there, he moved on to the Buffalo News where he handled the Bills beat for the paper. Most recently he served as a columnist for NFL.com. He also hosts a Saturday show on SiriusXM Radio (11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., ET), which he will continue. A graduate of Utica College, Carucci has authored several books, including “Sunday Morning Quarterback: Going Deep on The Strategies, Myths and Mayhem of Football” (2004, with Phil Simms) and “Do You Love Football?! Winning with Heart, Passion & Not Much Sleep” (2003, with Jon Gruden). He is a past president of the Pro Football Writers of America and has served on the selection committee for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Vic and his wife, Rhonda, have two daughters, Kristen and Lindsay, and a son-in-law, Larry.

That's pretty cool, something else for us Browns' Addicts to sink our teeth in to!

[Riffer X]

Love the concept but not the choices for the show. Carucci is good, but we already hear plenty of the drab Donovan's opinions on all the TV shows on Sportstime Ohio. I don't mind Deke though, but again, I already know what he thinks. The Howerton kid is a pompous clown if anybody has ever watched Beer Money on STO. He doesn't know shit about the Browns, he is just in the entertainment industry trying to pimp his talentless career.

This would have been a great chance to get some fresh blood covering the team rather than freaking Deke, Donovan and a doofus. There are plenty of long time Browns writers like Steve King, Steve D and others who would have been great in this role because they really know the team and the history. Plus, they can be a lot more critical then the freaking radio team guys. I'm surprised they didn't add Grossi's excitement to the mix too.

What he said. It's Fox News for Browns fans.

[Dan in Florida]

I like the idea because I can't watch STO that has all the Browns' shows! You either have to live in Ohio or have DirecTv to get STO, and I don't on either count.

When I think of Jamir Howerton......Im reminded of how bad Jim Muellers post game locker room interviews were and remember thinking of how dumb his questions were.

[TheBestPlayersPlay]

I won't speak ill of Donovan currently because he is recovering from a bone marrow transplant ...that is all.


I miss Nev.

[Greythan]

Riff is spot on. Utterly. This is simply recycled content for those of us with regular access to STO.

Its too bad.

Tell you what, I live in Nashville more often referred to as the Music City. On my 30 minute ride to and from work, I ONLY listen to sports radio that covers the Titans, Vols and SEC junior varsity team at Vandy. I'd be in Heaven if it was the Browns.

I think Carriucci is a terrific choice at no disrespect to any former Cleveland Browns. The worst show here is the one with a very intelligent Frank Wycheck. The best show is the one headed up by a former Division III Football Coach Thom Abraham on 650AM. This guy coached at St John Fisher where the Buffalo Bills hold their annual training camps. Anyway, I think the personality and charisma of the host goes a long way to how well the show goes. They get some excellent guests on the show and the creativity of host takes it to another level IMO. I'm not saying someone like Eddie George couldn't do a good job per say; but he has to want such a commitment and everythign else that goes with it all.

I'll bet Carriucci gets guests like Dieken, Dixon, Kosar, Holmgren, current players, current coaches etc. The show I listened to always had Jeff Fisher daily and the beat writer reporting who's the talk of today at training camp for the working world that can't attend the practices. This will be a great thing for yall.

I have an app loaded on my Moto Droid that's now called TuneIn Radio and I listen to Cleveland Sports talk when I'm driving around South Florida or in my Bluetooth earpiece (looking like I'm working).

WKNR will be doing the Browns Hour and they are available on TuneIn Radio.
